Happy Halloween

On Halloween day they had trick or treating at Kildonan Place Shopping Mall. That's where I used to be a mall rat. I thought it would be cute to dress Keegan up in his Giraffe costume to go get some CANDY, CANDY, CANDY.

Keegan not to impressed with what's going on!!!

What the heck is going on here!!

Cheese!!!

GRRR GRRR!!

SLURP, SLURP

Jill, Jade, Keegan and I all ventured out to go Trick or Treating. It was fun, since Jill and I used to go trick or treating as kids together in this area. We were only out for a half hour, but got TONS of candy. YUMMY for us!!!

The Forks

Jill, Jade, Keegan, my mom and I all went to the Forks. The Forks is a tourist attraction area in Winnipeg where the Red River meets up with the Assiniboine River. There are tons of shops, restaurants, and live entertainment. There is also a walking path that is along both rivers to take a stroll or bike ride. We took advantage of a little exercise that day. In the winter when the water freezes it becomes an ice skating park.

Who turned out the lights?

Out enjoying the fresh air

Caught ya!!!

A Day at the Terry's

Keegan finally had the blessed opportunity to meet my second family, Flo and Del. He got tons of hugs and kisses. Of course, there was a huge gift bag for him to open and toys to play with.

Maybe he will be a football player when he grows up. Looks like he has handling the ball down pat.

Flo always goes all out for Halloween. Keegan had fun looking at all of the animated bats, vampires and witches that she had displayed. He wasn't to sure what to think when we pressed the buttons to make them talk and move. Just a little hesitant. They were a little freaky. However, he loved this vibrating, singing ghost that sang a Halloween song. He just got this huge smile on his face that didn't go away until the song ended. Even when at home now we play it and he smiles as big as ever.

Grandma getting more snuggle time in.

Keegan's favorite part of the day was hanging out with papoos. He really didn't want to go to anyone else at times. He loved Del carting him all around and showing him new things. The only problem is that he weights a ton and your arms get pretty tired of holding him.

Keegan and his best bud, Papoos

All worn out...

I'm so proud of you...

Keegan and Aunty Kimmy

Thanks Flo & Del for my cute Lion Halloween Costume.

Hear me ROARRRRRR!!!!

Trip to Cando, ND

Friday, October 25th, Keegan and I drove with my mom from Grand Forks back to Cando, ND where she lives. Keegan and I got to spend the weekend with grandma, pappa Harley, and his cousins Anthony (11) and Hunter (3.5) who were also visiting from Fargo, ND.

Grandma and Keegan relaxing on the couch. Oh I mean chesterfield.

Thanks Dan, GO RED WINGS!!!

While I was in Cando, my friend Lisa came home to visit us and her parents. Lisa was also pregnant when I was, but had Sophia a couple months later. Sophia and Keegan playing together for the first time. Too bad we live miles apart. We had a wonderful visit!!!

Andrea & Kaelyn

On Thursday late afternoon, Keegan and I went to visit mom's friend Andrea and her new little girl Kaelyn. It was the first time for us to meet Kaelyn. Keegan and her had fun talking baby, while Andrea and I caught up on life after children.

Look at all of Kaelyn's hair. She was born with this mane. What a beautiful little princess.

The Girlz

Keegan playing on the floor with Kaelyn's blanket. He got all twisted up, but was having an absolute blast.

Visit with Brianna

Keegan and I arrived in Grand Forks, ND on Wednesday evening. We stayed with my goddaughter Brianna and her mom Becky for the first couple of days. Brianna loved finally getting to see Keegan. She LOVES babies and was estatic to play with a real one.

Keegan and Brianna playing with the baby

Brittany and Sam Chillin...

I decided that I would buy the girls Christmas presents early this year to save in mailing them. Brianna decided that it was also a good idea for her and Brittany to open them while I was there. She felt that it would mean more to see the expression on their faces when they opened the gift. How convenient!!! Of course, I couldn't pass it up. Brittany got the game Apples to Apples, while Brianna got a new potty baby.

Keegan & Bailey

Keegan has started scooting around and loves crawling over to Bailey. Bailey is so calm and allows Keegan to pet her.
